THE DUNYA IS A BEAUTIFUL LIE
We are merely on this earth as passersby. We are just passengers on a bus whereby everyone has their own stop. There comes a time for everyone everything to end as the old adage “ Every ending is also a new beginning. “
A fine Monday morning I had went to collect my transcripts (well the results turned out to be wonderful) the above saying became reality to me,I had to start a new chapter .It’s like the speculated time I had for my studies were a like sub_title for the main header.
A new beginning,I made up my mind to choose by the will of Allah ,the correct path. I still don’t know if that is the correct path, but God gave me enough signs. He says, "Ask and i will give.” The first question that came to mind was if God knows what is in my deepest most hidden thought buried deep in my heart why won’t he know my desires? The thought has been tormenting me for a while with no answer ,till recently I happened to by -chance sit down with a friend whom we never spoke from, we parted in Quran School (Madrassa). She said, “God knows what you want,but wants to hear it from you.” That hit me. Its like I know my sister likes fries,yet I still want to hear her say it to me. My mother knows I like hot chocolate, yet she still asks what I would like. You know what’s that,that’s love. I am sure God planned everything for humans,but He left some pages for our wishes. That’s what makes us.
Why is the Dunya a beautiful lie? Cause it’s not permanent,it’s not assured. We are sitting an exam its a test. Who doesn’t want eternal life full happiness no sadness at all no negatives that’s envy,that’s hate, no discrimination. The description of paradise always soothes my mind. A place where no eye has ever seen,a place no heart has ever perceived.
Who doesn’t want to sit under the shade of Allah ?
Who doesn’t want a true lifelong spouse? a Loyal one at that?
Sometimes, the simplest questions give the most difficult answers. Hence, if you can’t answer or give a different answer, you fail well basically. the best example is the world. Everything is simplified, yet we still give the wrong results. Why so? The formula. The formula we use is wrong. Just like a math question always has a formulae, so does the Dunya. But here the Dunya gives you the question ,the formula, the answer, but we still fail. Sad!!
So do we let our interests succumb to us ? Does it vex us so much that we forget we are being tested?
We all have questions we ask ourselves in the middle of the night those questions only time will answer if not, God shall send a Yasmin like she sent the friend of mine(Her name was Yasmeen).
Either way the Dunya is a mirage let it not fool you.
